Description

NOTE: This is a Notice of Intent. There is no announcement related to this notice. We are not accepting applications. Subject to the availability of funds, USDOL’s ETA intends to provide funding to an existing cooperative agreement with the National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA), Center for Employment Security Education and Research (CESER) for continued support for the operations of the Interstate Connection Network (ICON) without full and open competition, to extend the implementation of the program and its funding capacity. Authority: DLMS 2, Chapter 830, Section 836 (G): Services are available from only one responsible source and no substitute will suffice; or the recipient has unique qualifications to perform the type of activity to be funded. It is necessary to fund a recipient that has an established relationship with the agency in order to maintain an existing facility or capability to furnish services or benefits of particular significance to the agency on a long-term basis.

Funding-activity code maps to Other (O). This eligibility-code string dominates the Employment and Training Administration book (353 peers, 85% of 413).
